Serum lipidomics analysis. A Percentages of numbers of main lipid subclasses. B Principal component analysis (PCA) plot of total lipids. C PCA plot of serum sphingolipids (including SM, Cer, SPH). D Comparison of the contents of top eight lipid subclasses between CFE vs. CON. *P < 0.05. E Heatmap of differentially abundant serum lipids (VIP > 1, P < 0.05 and |FC|≥ 1.2). F KEGG enrichment analysis based on differentially abundant serum lipids. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. G The heatmap on the right depicts the correlations between differential serum sphingolipid species. Red, positive correlations; bule, negative correlations. The heatmap on the left depicts the correlations of serum IL-6, TNF-α, LPS, fecal Bacteroides with differential serum sphingolipid species. Green, positive correlations; purple, negative correlations. CON, control; CFE, citrus flavonoid extract; VIP, variable importance in projection; FC, fold change; LPS, lipopolysaccharide
